I just did a set of lattice alloys with a can of Halfords Ford dark metallic grey and they came out really well. Although one can wasn't quite enough - buy two.

If you speak to Martin @ Reyland he will tell you what to buy. I'm sure that Pugeot cosac grey paint is the closest you will get to matching it. But check with Martin to be sure.

Bri, if you want them mint i would reccomend taking the tyres off at a cheep second hand tyre shop and then taking them for a shotblasting, i know someone who charges a 8 pack for blasting a set of wheels and a bmx frame. then its so much easier to give them a smooth sanding and then etch primer,base coat and then laquer.
mine was blasted and then powder coated anthracite by the firm Wolf uses for there show cars and when i took mine to have tyres i said to the Polish geezer watch me rims and he said "yes yes boss no problem you got new wheels we not scratch them"
it was then i realised my hoops were the bizzo.
i sometimes see poorly prepared wheels painted with a spray can and it looks ok and then the paint flakes off especially when power washing them.
